Amish Tomato Ketchup Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

6 celery ribs, trimmed - cut in 1/4 thic
2 medium onions (abt. 2 cups) - peeled and d, iced
1/4 cup ; water
3 lb tomatoes, quartered
5 tbsp vinegar
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 tbsp allspice berries
1/2 tbsp whole cloves
1/2 tbsp celery seeds
1 tsp ground mace
1/2 tsp salt

Recipe Preparation

Place the celery, onions and water in a medium-size saucepan over
medium high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until the vegetables are nearly soft, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook tomatoes in a large heavy nonreactive saucepan over
medium heat, partially covered, until they are very soft and almost a
puree, about 25 minutes. Add the cooked celery and onions; continue
cooking until the vegetables are completely softened, about 15
minutes.

Strain tomato mixture in small batches through a sieve into another
nonreactive saucepan, pressing down firmly to extract all of the
liquid. Stir in the vinegar, brown sugar and spices. Place the pan
over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Continue boiling,
stirring often to be sure that the ketchup isn't sticking to the
bottom of the pan, until the mixture thickens somewhat, 15 to 20
minutes. Allow ketchup to cool, then ladle into jars. Cover and
refrigerate for up to 2 months. Or ladle the boiling-hot ketchup into
hot sterilized canning jars. Seal according to the lid manufacturer's
instructions.

Yield: 1 1/2 pints.

Loomis writes: "This sweet ketchup comes from Mary Linebach, who
owns and runs a produce auction with her [Mennonite] husband, Paul,
in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania." [Mary describes the ketchup by
saying]: 'The children love it on pancakes...It's sweeter than
store-bought and not as tangy...'

"The ketchup is good on morning hotcakes (an Amish custom) as it is on
Cheddar cheese sandwiches, as a dip for fresh vegetables or freshly
baked bread, and as a condiment with roast or fried meat or poultry.
And it has one distinct advantage over the most popular store-bought
brand: You won't have any trouble getting it out of the bottle,
because it's not thick."

Food Tips of the Week

Dieting tips

If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals Most low carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbohydrates. Your body needs energy, and carbs are a highly efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires more care in monitoring you energy intake, as the energy provided by fat or protein is less efficient.

* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the package. Many are only a little decreased and in some instances still greater than a competitors usual brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.

Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes onion, brussels sprouts, soya beans & tea)

The large family of compounds known as flavonoids found in these food types are thought by experts to have properties in fighting cancer.
Doctors who have been studying the medical effects of flavonoids think that they might also have many other healthy benefits, including anti-candida and anti-inflammatory powers.
Most are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss program.
